Will cleaning with bleach hurt the girls?

I had a major bug infestation and I've almost got it under control I'm bleaching the entire room top to bottom! All plants and everything has been removed! How long does it have to air out before I can put the girls back in the room? Do I even have to wait at all? Once everything is wiped down will the aroma or smell in the room hurt the girls I did go a tad heach with bleach!

I would wait till it dry and smell disparates.

I agree. Let it dry and air out the room. I'd clean a second time as well to make sure. I wouldn't trust one cleaning to kill those bugs. Leave one bug or one egg and they're coming back.

Still have some girls recovering from the dam neem oil i still don't know why I haven't thrown the neem oil away yet!

Get some real lights or get those really close.

If you had a bug infestation, i'd also look into why you had it. If you had fungus gnats (because I see the yellow sticky traps), they're always due to overwatering because they live in moist soil.

Re: bleach, I don't think it should be a problem...but you could also look into H2o2 (peroxide) as an alternative.

Bleach in the air can damage leaves in some cases.
I screwed up with my evaporative cooler and poured some bleach in it to run it through while still in the grow room. I figured it would clean out the system but didn't consider it would be evaporated into the air. I went out and a few hours later when I got back the entire house had a heavy bleach smell. Took hours to air it out.
The 1st picture is of a leaf 24 hours after the bleach incident. Many had the same look. The second picture shows the later stages of the damage. All bounced back. Your concentrations in the air are much lighter and may not hurt at all IDK but I would avoid having plants in the grow room if it still smells of bleach.

These pics are from bleach damage. It's cool in it's own way. The damage caused has a unique look compared to other leaf problems.

Transplant them and drençh them then blow fans on the with sticky traps give it a week. Golden son. With misting

I'd plug up/cover that vent in the third picture. You don't want to be blowing dust seven weeks into flower when your buds are all sticky.

At least put a filter on it. Even for a veg room.

Hey man they are real lights lol I like my t5s Temps stay perfect without an ac! Cost is very low I don't see the issue!

And the lights were kinda high but only bc I was cleaning usually I'm about 6in away!

The vent doesn't even work no air comes or goes through it!

A filter for something that doesn't even have air moving threw it is just throwing money out the window! now I may duck tape it just in case some critters are living in there!
